Widely used as a solvent in dry cleaning due to its effectiveness in removing grease and oils from fabrics without damaging delicate materials. It is also employed in metal degreasing operations, especially in vapor degreasing systems, where it removes oils and residues from metal parts in manufacturing and automotive industries. Used as a chemical intermediate in the production of other compounds, including refrigerants and fluoropolymers. Its stability and non-flammability make it suitable for use in some industrial processes, though its use has declined due to environmental and health concerns. This high-purity grade (99.8%) is specially used in infrared oil measuring instruments for analytical applications.
